What IETF RFC 8725 - JSON Web Token Best Current Practices: Security Hardening for Workflow Authentication requires
RFC 8725 (February 2020) is an IETF Best Current Practice that supersedes and corrects security deficiencies identified in RFC 7519 (JWT); prohibits algorithm confusion attacks by mandating algorithm allowlists, banning 'none' algorithm, requiring explicit audience validation, mandating short-lived token lifetimes, restricting sensitive data in claims, and enforcing strict key management; directly applicable to all workflow automation tokens, AI agent bearer credentials, and OAuth 2.x access tokens in regulated environments.
